Hi,

I read this section alot and really appreciate the information. I use alot of the advice and it works. I am looking for a pulse oxy meter and have read that some of you have them. Can you tell me, which one I should get and which one to stay away from. Some seem cheap and others are very expensive, I don't know if it matter how expensive they are or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Michael

I was the one that gave MamaMarg that info - I paid $69.50, had my Dr. check it out ( He gave his approval ) and I'v been using for over 4 months and can highly endorse it. I use it every day and it does the job.

I just bought what looks to be the same one from clinicalguard.com for $65.00 and free shipping. Haven't got it yet. Looks like that might be the price as portablenebs.com

I did purchase one from potable nebs, cost $65.00, FDA approved and 1 year warranty.

Just got mine today and it works great!! You'll need 2 AAA batteries, not included. It came with a carry case and a free thermometer. Cost $65 free ship.

I personally got myself a Nonin, but did it while I'm working. I love it, it really has helped me out. I did some checking into the one from
portanebs. for the 65. It is a-ok according to my doctor. WEll, anyway, you will be happy with it. Just make certain that you have a couple of extra batteies in the house if needed. Just like your blood pressure mach if needed. This is a must. I'm glad you got this one.
I got the Nonin as I liked the 'auto-shut off',,on some really bad days, I needed it. But, this one is just as efficent and well worth the money.

deleted_user 05/09/2008

after reading these, i'm wondering, what kind of batteries do the other kind take?

KyleesNan 05/09/2008

I took mine to rehab today and we ran it on one finger and their fancy one on another finger. They both ran the same numbers, we were all impressed. Even though we purchased at different places, they look the same to me.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
